Hope someone can help with this. It's driving me crazy.
What I remember is that John & Rodney were with the Stargate program in the mountain but don't go to Atlantis.
Rodney quits because he isn't made Chief Scientist, someone he doesn't like gets the position ahead of him (either Kavanagh and Grodin) I think the start of the fic is when General O'Neill turns up at their house, John and Rodney having since been married, and asks them to return to Stargate. I think he is on the doorstep and John says even if you offer to reinstate my commission I can't come back because of DADT. O'Neill shows John the front page of the newspaper, President repeals DADT, and John goes 'they repealed DADT to get us back' and O'Neill says the situation is dire. Also, John is pissed at O'Neill, I think because he didn't back Rodney up. The situation is, Weir is trying to secede from Earth and the IOA refuse to let that happen. The scientists have been encrypting help messages in the databursts for the last six months.
They agree to go back, as head of Atlantis and higher rank for John. John insists on beaming up TV, I think Rodney wants his cat? and maybe a piano? and O'Neill says something like 'you can have your entire house beamed up if you'll just agree to come back'.
Also, Rodney asks about Danial Jackson and it turns out he was pissed with how O'Neill acted too, and he hasn't seen him since.
Next I remember they are waiting in a room aboard the Daedalus. John & Rodney are both there, along with other military assets under John's command (maybe Even Lorne?). One of the scientists on board interupts wanting Rodney's help and John basically tells him to leave unless they are all about to die. He tells one of the military guys to put a sign on the door, and when asked what to put on it, Rodney says 'here there be dragons. Every geek on board will get it.' They go back to discussing how messed up Atlantis is, I think this is the fic where some of the scientists get eaten off world because the military team leaves them there, and when they confront the natives they say 'we thought that was their purpose. that they were useless hence you left them alone and unguarded for us' or something like that.
They get to Atlantis, Weir is furious, Colonal Sumners was is charge of the military but John outranks him so the military follows his orders. Can't remember much from then on.
